Yummy Rhubarb Cake 

Rhubarb is plentiful these days, so time to gobble it up.  But don't eat their leaves or roots because they are poisoned with oxalix acid which can lead to death if consumed.  Ouch!

This delicious rhubarb cake is gooey with rhubarb, and honey. It's flavoured with cinnamon and vanilla, plus has buttermilk. It's a delicious dessert if you like a cake overflowing with rhubarb. It's yummy.
